97 employees at Springfield’s Timken Belts will lose jobs in 2025. When layoffs start
A month ago, employees at Springfield’s Timken Belts facility were notified that 97 jobs — or 40% of the workforce — will be eliminated by the end of September.
The layoffs are scheduled to start in March.
Scott Schroeder, spokesman for the company headquartered in Ohio, said employees were notified about the planned reductions Dec. 6.
A public notice was also filed in compliance with the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, known as WARN notice.
“While difficult, we make staffing decisions at our facilities based on a continuous review of our long-term capacity plans, cost competitiveness and customer demand,” Schroader said in an email to the News-Leader. “We will provide support to help employees affected by this change.”
For example, employees will receive severance pay and outplacement career planning services.
Schroeder said individuals who will lose their job will receive advance warning, or at least a 60-day notice of their final day.
Timken added the Springfield facility in 1995, after buying the Carlisle belt business, housed in what had once been the Dayco factory.
According to detailed job reduction information provided as part of WARN, the layoffs include six salaried employees. The rest are hourly workers.
The first wave of layoffs will start March 31 followed by layoffs in May, June and July. However, more than half the layoffs will be Sept. 5-19.
